However, any time specified by JLI for provision of the Services is an estimate  only, and JLI will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Client as a result of any delay. In the event that JLI is unable to provide  the Services as agreed solely due to any action or inaction of the Client, then the Client shall pay to JLI a reasonable sum of money to cover  the consequential costs, expenses and liabilities suffered by JLI as a result of any delay or suspension. 
7.5 The commencement date will be put back and/or the duration of the Services extended by whatever time is reasonable in the event that the  Client requests a variation to the Services, or JLI claims an extension of time, or where provision of the Services is delayed or suspended  (other than as a result of a breach of this Contract by JLI, or a negligent act or omission of JLI) by an event beyond JLI’s control.
